Officially dating for 5 yrs, 1 month (we got engaged on our delayed 5th anniversary). We knew each other for about 4 years before we started dating - our first official date was actually my grandparents' 50th anniversary party

We'll have been together for almost 6 1/2 years when we're married!

23 days and counting until "We Do" in the beautiful Riviera Maya!

Yay! the world still exists - it would've really sucked to have done all this planning for nothing!

10.5 years....yikes. I was 19 when we met and going to turn 30 this year. I have really grown up with him. Long distance for 7 of the 10 years, and its finally time. Luckely neither of us felt like we needed to be married because it was the next step and ignored all the people who were constantly pressuring us. For the last 5 years all I have heard from people is "why aren't you guys married yet" or "when are you going to get married" or "do you guys not believe in marriage" I was so tired of hearing that!! Now I fianlly have an answer. The timeing is finally right and all those people can be quiet now!!! :-)

I'm right with you! My fiance proposed on our 10 year anniversary, and we will be married on our 12 year anniversary!

All the background chatter, of when will you do it, was becoming quite loud!

We dated for over 12 years before getting engaged and it will be just over 13 years when we get married. People would ask us all the time when we were going to get married (heck my father even made a joke about it during his speech when my older brother got married 2 summers ago) but my answer (jokingly) was usually that i wanted to keep my options open or i wasn't really sure yet - I found that shut people up pretty quickly

Finally, someone that has me beat! I thought I was all alone in the over 10 years of dating, over 12 years at getting married pool.
